Hi! I'm Strea.

[streaac]

Big Update!

Last month I applied for a half table at the Overload anime convention here in Auckland, New Zealand...and I got offered registration! I'll be tabling for the FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS this September! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! NZ peers, hit me up please!!!!!

In a fiscally questionable but existentially soothing move, I ordered these vinyl stickers of these Linktober pieces. Thankfully the order came in time for me to take product photos to add to my portfolio for the application review lol

If you're still reading, do know this: I don't intend on making and selling just fanart (or just Zelda fanart for that matter). Creatively, I don't want to rely on existing IP, and legally, it's always kinda risky. If you're interested in getting a more behind the scenes look into what I'm up to, I have a newsletter I'll be updating monthly! Totally optional though. Either way, I appreciate your support and you being here 🥰

Heya! I made a new Meet the Artist last month! The last one I did was in 2017, a few months into living in Japan. CRAZY STYLE UPDATE. I both honor the older version and cringe at it a little haha

Little timelapse of Day 14: Statue!

I'm surprised how well the drawing was received since posting it!

You can buy a print of the final illustration on INPRT here!

[streaac]

Made this little video of how I made the recent Linktober pieces! Around Day 6 I found out I liked the look of the new pencil brushes in procreate! Unfortunately that also meant the same workflow of real colored pencils haha

You can buy this print and the other "best of" Linktober work at my INPRNT!

Linktober 2025 summary!

I took this challenge on to mitigate my irrational dislike for digital lineart. You can tell that the first few days I was still struggling, and it was only by Day 6 that I figured out how I wanted to approach the rest of the prompts. Sometimes the only way out is through! And a 30 (31) day challenge is a good reminder of that.

Next year maybe I'll try just good old traditional ink...? Maybe maybe hehe

EDIT: Whoopsie I totally forgot Link + Epona

linktober Day 31: Free for All

IT’S DONEEEEE!! I DID IT!!!! 😭🔥✨✨✨✨✨

Thank you everyone for your likes, reblogs, and hashtag musings! They were so encouraging and helped me push through 🥹✨ MAN the last time I finished an October drawing challenge was like idk, 2017? 🫢 So taking this on and succeeding was self affirming, that I CAN do it! 😤🔥✨✨✨✨

I’m looking forward to doing anything but draw for the next 3 days 😂 I’M SO TIRED LMAO

linktober day 30: Wild/Untamed

The most “wild,” “untamed” region in my opinion is the outer edges of the desert where the map just fazes out.

At the same time I remembered this picture my bf took of me very successfully pinching Himeji Castle 😂

1 MORE DAY LET’S GOOOOOOO!!!!

linktober day 29: Link and Epona

I nearly suffered drawing a semi real horse but in my heart of hearts I wanted a cute chubby horse I can make stickers of someday!!

Anyway the Gerudo target practice range was my favorite mini game! Which one was yours?

[streaac]

linktober Day 28: Mask

Majora’s Mask!! The Japanese says “let’s play.” 🌝🌚

Ahhh it’s already the 29th here in NZ but I am not staying up all not to draw a horse 🫠✨ might be time for another doodle!

[streaac]

linktober Day 27: Cursed

Quick pivot to the Shadow calendar! I brainstormed several ideas for Anju and Kafei, but in the end, the hug was the best choice 🥹✨

[streaac]

linktober day 26: Zelda

I might attempt a full render version of Zelda as the girl with a pearl earring, but that’s for another time. I initially put dot eyes to match Link from last week, but adding eyelid suited this better!

[streaac]

linktober Day 25: Twilight

😂😂😂 shameless shadow beast doodles today because i refuse to burn out before the final week!! 😤🔥✨✨✨✨✨

[streaac]

linktober day 24: Science/Tech

Decayed guardian from Breath of the Wild! I miss fighting these and and running for my life whenever I lose all my shields to poorly timed blocks 😂

Hopefully the sketchier finish is still charming. I just gotta move on! 🥲🔥✨✨✨✨✨

[streaac]

linktober day 23: Echo

NGL I’ve had the game for a YEAR and only just started it today to play the first dungeon and get a feel for it. It’s so cute and the puzzles are really clever! 😭✨ anyway here’s a little witchy version of Zelda with a Stalhorse!

[streaac]

day 22: Snow/Cold/Frozen

Like snow off a Rito’s back 😌✨

[streaac]

linktober Day 21: Music/instrument

The sacred, the coveted, the one and only Ocarina of Time.

I essentially made a floating still life and spent way too long composing and coloring it haha

Linktober Day 20: Broken

The sword isn't the only thing that's broken
